If he gets a bark out first, then you say ACK (a bit loud) and touch him at the same time to re-direct his attention, then when he quits, praise and give a treat. Keep this up for about 15 to 20 minutes three times a day. While he is in training, keep him as far away from that door as possible, even if you have to crate him in the bedroom and just take him outside every hour or so. If you seriously work at this, it shouldn't take more than two or three days. | Great suggestion. I love it.
